The school was very pleasant. The staff were very helpful if I had a problem, and the teachers were brilliant. The best part of the course was being asked to translate for a waiter to a tourist in a café in the central plaza! The other students were really nice. I made some great friends. The activities were fun, but a little repetitive. I would have loved to go on a few more weekend trips. The main areas of Santiago were fine, with a little petty crime, but generally safe. Going out was fun. The nightlife was good – loads of places to go in different areas, Bodeguero!” Rachel: Standard Course “My three weeks flew by! Thanks CESA I had a fantastic time and you were so quick to deal with my emails – very reassuring! I meet some amazing people in Santiago and got to improve my Spanish in class, and practise everything a lot out of class.

Through the Eyes of Urban Students: Educational Inequality and Socioeconomic Disparities in Santiago, Chile Hillary Sapanski Colby College Abstract This project explores student perceptions of educational inequality in Santiago, Chile. Educational inequality in Santiago is statistically well documented; this study is novel in that it gives voice to the students. Despite a major emerging middle class, across all classes there is an overwhelming awareness of inequality. The results in this study are two-fold: not only do the diverse student experiences illustrate the stark divisions in the Chilean education system and society, but their experiences also demonstrate the development of a critical consciousness empowering students to act.

  • Material Barrio Estación Central
    La Estación Central de Ferrocarriles fue instalada en el mítico barrio de Chuchunco hacia 1863. Dicho espacio correspondía al límite sur poniente de la ciudad republicana. Su asentamiento se vio impulsado por la creación de la Quinta Normal de Agri• cultura (1842) a la cual se accedía a través de la calle Matucana. El barrio se fue transformando, con la creciente inmigración campesina, de principios del siglo XX, que provino desde el sur del país, en lo que podríamos llamar un lugar de frontera, un espacio donde se mezclarían los modos y usos rurales con el estilo propio de una urbe que se industrializa, masifica e intenta alcanzar cierto grado de modernidad. La imponente estructura metálica de la estación marcó un barrio donde se percibía un aroma a arrabal, a límite, a encuentro- desencuentro, a precariedad, a comercio de baratijas, a guapeza. La instalación en sus cercanías, durante la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, de las sedes de las escuelas Normal de Preceptores y de Artes y Oficios (1893), más otras instituciones educacionales, otorgará también aires culturales e intelectuales al sector. La hora de salida y de llegada de los trenes al terminal ferroviario marcó los tiempos del barrio. Sus andenes, atiborrados de gentío, fueron los que tomaron el pulso al crecimiento demo• gráfico de Santiago, igual como lo hicieron los conjuntos habi• tacionales que se levantaron sucesivamente para acoger a las capas bajas y las tiendas comerciales aledañas a la estación. El carácter popular del Barrio Estación Central fue una impronta marcada, pese a que muy cerca, hacia el oriente, todavía en el siglo XX quedaban resabios aristocráticos, ejemplificados en el majestuoso Portal Edwards.

  • SANTIAGO, CHILE Santiago Is the Capital and Biggest City of Chile With
    WELCOME TO SANTIAGO, CHILE Santiago is the capital and biggest city of Chile with over 5,000,000 people. You can find almost everything you need in this city. It has all star hotels, economical bed and breakfasts, restaurants of every ethnic background, discos, clubs, museums, universities, theaters, malls, a modern subway system which makes finding your way around Santiago a lot easier, and much more. Santiago is located at 543 m above sea level in the central zone of Chile. It is at only 100 km from the Pacific Ocean and 40 km from the Andes mountain range. If you want to venture out to other parts of Chile you can get there by bus, airline, and rental car from Santiago. SIGHTSEEING Bellavista: On the northern bank of the Mapocho, a couple of kilometres east of the Mercado Central is barrio Bellavista. Nestling at the foot of the green slopes of Cerro San Cristóbal, Bellavista is a warren of quiet, leafy streets lined with brightly coloured houses, steeped in a village-like atmosphere. It has a reputation for being the capital’s bohemian quarter, thanks in part to the fact that Pablo Neruda lived here, along with several other artists, writers and intellectuals. Check it out by night when the main street, Pío Nono, becomes a colourful crafts market - and wrap up your evening with a candlelit dinner in one of the area's intimate restaurants. There’s no metro in Bellavista itself, but it is at a short walk from Baquedano metro station (Línea 1). Cerro Santa Lucía: Climbing up the exuberantly landscaped Santa Lucía hill - via a maze of swirling stairways, turrets and fountains - is an essential part of the Santiago experience.
